This must be an old ass post, $1200 for a 1-bedroom is cheap in most US cities now.

Right? Almost all the places I'm finding that are $1200 or lower are for people aged 55+. There's another senior community being built on the edge of my neighborhood. It's frustrating, especially considering that so many of the 55+ people I know own their own properties and have no plans to give them up. Except my parents, who sold the home I grew up in, and are moving to another normal house in a lower CoL area. They're pocketing $45,000 from the deal and bragging about it.

Meanwhile, my best chance to not be homeless by December is to win a housing lottery for one of 3 available low-income rental units. Mom tells me to move to a more southern state, but as a pansexual woman of reproductive age, I refuse to move to any state where I couldn't be treated for an ectopic pregnancy.

Welp, I may not be sure I'll have a physical building to stay in, but at least I've got a car with back seats that fold down...

In a 50 mile radius of my job the cheapest rent you can find is around 1800-2000 no pets allowed. 800 or less sq ft.

It's awful
